Abstract: Let $X,Y$ be two independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables taking values from a separable Banach space $(mathcalX,|cdot|)$. Given two measurable subsets $F,KsubseteqcalX$, we established distribution free comparison inequalities between $mathbbP(XpmYinF)$ and $mathbbP(X-YinK)$. These estimates are optimal for real random variables as well as when $mathcalX=mathbb{R}^d$ is equipped with the $|cdot{|}_{i}nfty$ norm. Our approach for both problems extends techniques developed by Schultze and Weizs"acher (2007).
